Chapter 207: Hunting the Human-Faced Demon Spider — Dugu Feng's Power
Sunset Forest, Ice and Fire Yin Yang Well.
A month passed, and Dugu Feng's Ice and Fire body tempering slowly reached its limit.
He exhaled deeply and ended his cultivation.
In just that month, his physical strength had risen by at least thirty percent. The early results of his Ice and Fire Refinement had far exceeded expectations.
His body was now at its peak for his current stage.
From this point forward, progress would rely on persistent accumulation.
It was time to hunt the Human-Faced Demon Spider.
Dugu Feng rose to his feet. Light flared from his right leg as the skill of the Blue Silver Emperor's right leg bone activated—Flight.
In an instant, he soared to the mountain peak above the Yin Yang Well.
There, he waited briefly until two jade-green Emerald Dragon Serpents glided back toward him.
"Take me to the forty-thousand-year Human-Faced Demon Spider," he commanded.
"Yes, master."
Few soul beasts in Sunset Forest knew of that spider's existence. At such an age, it had already awakened a special concealment ability—one that not only hid its body but also its aura, escaping detection by both beasts and humans alike.
Because of that, it lived comfortably deep within the forest.
Only a Titled Douluo performing meticulous sensing could possibly find it—but an old, cunning beast like that would never provoke such a figure.
Dugu Feng knew of it only because the Emerald Dragon Serpents roamed the forest like rulers and had long discovered that the Human-Faced Demon Spider often preyed within their territory.
Guided by them, Dugu Feng stealthily approached the spider's hunting zone. He concealed himself within the thick canopy, hidden among interlocked branches.
A faint red gleam flickered across his forehead as the Wisdom Head Bone of Spiritual Condensation activated.
Jade Phosphor Crimson Poison seeped outward, forming the first barrier that concealed his entire aura.
Then he entered his Martial Spirit Possession state. The Serpent Breath Technique activated, erasing all traces of soul power.
In terms of stealth, he was no weaker than the most cunning killers lurking in the forest.
Once hidden, Dugu Feng gestured for the two serpents to fly off and lure the spider closer.
His hand brushed the pouch at his waist—ready to act at any moment.
Not far away, within a bush, a massive creature—its body over three meters wide, striped black and white—lay sprawled in silence.
Its carapace was covered in withered leaves and decaying bark. Anyone unaware would have mistaken it for part of the forest floor.
At the front of its abdomen, a cluster of small purple-glowing eyes glimmered, ceaselessly scanning its surroundings.
Once prey came close, it could instantly shoot a horrifying web, trapping its victim in death.
Suddenly, the humanoid face below its eyes twisted into rage.
"You again!"
"Shhhhk!"
A gigantic web of dense purple silk erupted outward, dripping with corrosive venom.
Anyone ensnared would face not only suffocating restraint but also poison that devoured flesh and bone in moments.
The web was blindingly fast—but the two Emerald Dragon Serpents were faster, darting through the openings like streaks of light.
They had encountered this spider many times before—they knew its methods well.
They had been preparing for this hunt long ago.
After all, this Human-Faced Demon Spider was the key to Dugu Feng's Eight Spider Lances evolving and the eventual formation of his Dominating Venom. Failure was not an option.
Moreover, Dugu Feng didn't wish to damage its internal energy core. He needed to take it alive and intact.
With a loud crack, the enraged spider stood on its eight spear-like legs, each several meters long, stabbing deep into the ground before launching itself forward with terrifying speed.
The rustling of its legs through the leaves echoed sharply—the whole creature blurred into a shadow as it chased the fleeing serpents.
They had clashed many times before—it knew it had to drive these pests away before hunting could resume.
The spider's body dwarfed the serpents, yet its agility was astounding.
Indeed, that was the advantage of having eight powerful, toxin-filled limbs—the explosive mobility. Each leap carried it dozens of meters.
The two serpents hissed in excitement.
Chase us, chase us—you'll soon become our master's new soul ring!
At last, as the spider leaped again, a flash of white crystal light shot up from the underbrush—a herb-shaped burst of energy, spinning as it released a wave of frost.
In an instant, a layer of white frost spread outward, freezing the air itself.
The great spider froze midair, its enormous body encased in a shimmering layer of ice.
Then, from the treetops, a figure descended—shrouded in four soul rings of yellow, purple, purple, and black.
Dugu Feng struck like a predator.
He no longer resembled a man, but something monstrous—a fusion of human, scorpion, and spider. His scorpion claw bones extended, the Eight Spider Lances spread around him like blades.
His fourth soul ring flared.
At the same time, he swept his right hand forward—an icy glint flashing between his fingers.
"Ice-Fire Corrosive Poison!"
The fourth soul skill—an invasive toxin blending the chill of ice and the burn of fire—shot straight into the spider's eyes.
The Octagonal Mysterious Ice Grass-enhanced domain froze the creature for a split second midair.
That instant of stillness revealed its weakest spot—its multi-eyed abdomen.
Dugu Feng would not waste the chance.
"Bang!"
The spider slammed into the ground.
The frost deepened instantly, thickening the ice that encased its limbs and torso.
Dugu Feng darted forward, his massive claws snapping closed around two of its legs. With matching force, he flipped the giant spider onto its back.
Frost still bound its limbs; it struggled sluggishly, unable to move freely.
The Ice-Fire Corrosive Poison within its body was burning its nerves, sending it the breath of death.
This soul skill—originally a fusion of ice and flame to create ultimate corrosion—was now empowered by two immortal herbs. Its lethality was unimaginable.
Dugu Feng hesitated not for a second.
The Eight Spider Lances arched high, then plunged straight into the spider's abdomen.
Guided by his spiritual power, eight precise holes pierced through the ice, each spearpoint driving through one of the spider's eight eyes.
"Still resisting?"
"Slaughter Assault!"
Pale killing intent surged through the lances, flooding into its body like raging blades—cold, bloodthirsty, and merciless.
As Dugu Feng released the Slaughter God Domain, the oppressive force of the field spread outward.
Within that domain, the Human-Faced Demon Spider's body convulsed once—and then went limp.
The entire attack sequence, from ambush to kill, had unfolded in moments—swift as lightning, ruthless as death itself.
From the Frost Domain of the Octagonal Herb… to the Ice-Fire Corrosive Poison… then the Eight Spider Lances… and finally the Slaughter God Domain—each layered perfectly atop the last.
This was Dugu Feng's true power.
Without realizing it, he had already become a formidable force of the continent.
